<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>inch</STRONG>,  <STRONG>winch</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvinch</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvwinch</STRONG>  -  get  a  character  and
       attributes from a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> window


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>

       <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> <STRONG>inch(void);</STRONG>
       <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> <STRONG>winch(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win);</STRONG>
       <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> <STRONG>mvinch(int</STRONG> <STRONG>y,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>x);</STRONG>
       <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> <STRONG>mvwinch(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>y,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>x);</STRONG>


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       These routines return the character, of  type  <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>,  at
       the   current  position  in  the  named  window.   If  any
       attributes are set for that  position,  their  values  are
       OR'ed  into  the  value  returned.   Constants  defined in
       <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> can be used with the <STRONG>&amp;</STRONG> (logical  AND)  operator
       to extract the character or attributes alone.

   <STRONG>Attributes</STRONG>
       The  following  bit-masks  may  be  AND-ed with characters
       returned by <STRONG>winch</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>A_CHARTEXT</STRONG>     Bit-mask to extract character
       <STRONG>A_ATTRIBUTES</STRONG>   Bit-mask to extract attributes
       <STRONG>A_COLOR</STRONG>        Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information


</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       Note that all of these routines may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These functions are described in the XSI Curses  standard,
       Issue 4.
